I really recommend this tour. You can visit a lot of places and also you have time to walk by yourself and take pictures of your favorite spots. The optional attractions could be purchased or not, depending on your interest. We stopped to go to the restroom as many as we asked and also to have food. The food was not only in chinese places, as other reviews were saying. Additionally the guide Steven was very attentive and had good knowledge of all the places visited. I wish to join in other tours soon.

I recommend this tour!

Posted by: Narayan on 2016-05-19

Surely a good tour. We visited many places in a short span of time. We had lots of fun. Accommodation was great. Our guide Eddy managed everyone pretty good. It would be nice to have a rough itinerary of the the tour on the first day so people can plan and be prepared.And obviously you cannot spend too much time at one place if you want to visit many in a day! And we also get free time while sightseeing

TOUR GUIDE: Our guide Bin had good knowledge of the locations and exhibits. However his Chinese accent at times made it difficult to understand some words.
ACCOMMODATION: For the price of $372 per person the accommodation is unbeatable. We stayed in these places-Ramada Inn (New Jersey), Springhill Suites (Maryland), Byblos Resort & Spa (Niagara City, NY) and Best Western (Marlborough, MA). Except Byblos, all other places were decent accommodations.
TRANSPORTATION: The ugly part of the tour was the bus. The suspensions were worn out and the ride was bumpy in the back. The air conditioning did not work properly. The tour company HAS to replace the buses. They suck!!!
ITINERARY: Hectic. The guide did not cover places mentioned in the itinerary originally displayed on the website. He skipped the following - night time illumination at Niagara Falls, Goat Island, Rockefeller Center, One World Trade Center. But he included Jet Boat ride on the Niagara River which is awesome adventure lovers (tour highlight, worth paying $61).
The tour does not address the needs of vegetarians. The bus only stops at Asian buffet. If you are Indian/vegetarian you can find Indian restaurants near most food stops or near the hotel i.e Madras Palace at Maryland stop, Niagara Falls (many) and Tandoori Grill near Boston hotel. At other places you have to find other veggie places to eat.
Overall the tour is a rush-rush way to tour the East Coast with an itinerary that may too hectic for senior citizens, kids or people who like to relax in tours. The guide requires you to look at things in a rush and come back to the bus in a stipulated amount of time. But it is fun and overall recommended for the price.

It's an awesome trip

I recommend this tour!

Posted by: Ash on 2015-06-02

Overall it was an awesome trip with so many places to be covered. Few things- we were not aware of the previous night's tour to New York which we missed. In Niagara, accommodation was not up to the mark, where for other groups it was arranged in a good hotel. Please make sure to book the accommodations in advance. Well, I definitely recommend this to others.

Posted by: Deepu on 2014-10-28

Overall, it was a well coordinated tour. Guide was friendly, though was bit strict on timing. With exceptionally good planning, we were able to cover all attractions. As a suggestion, when people from multiple countries are on board, stops for food should be arranged such a way that everyone can get some food of their choice. I recommend this tour to others.

I recommend this tour!

Posted by: Sumit on 2014-09-29

Nice accommodations throughout. Itinerary is packed and includes some irrelevant places. Due to this, you miss going to Times Square, Ground Zero. Guide wise, he got upset when we didn't don't choose the optional attractions. Food wise, bus stops at Chinese food places. Luckily we found other places but the guide does not plan for other food places.
At Niagara Falls, the guide said that the attractions are combined where as the tour itinerary says they are optional. Overall good for a budget tour that takes to a lot of places.

I recommend this tour!

I'd definitely recommend this trip. This could be the best trip if you are concerned about visiting many places in very few days.
